IPUMS-International is an effort to inventory, preserve, harmonize, and disseminate census microdata from around the world. The project has collected the world's largest archive of publicly available census samples. The data are coded and documented consistently across countries and over time to facillitate comparative research. IPUMS-International makes these data available to qualified researchers free of charge through a web dissemination system.

The IPUMS project is a collaboration of the Minnesota Population Center, National Statistical Offices, and international data archives. Major funding is provided by the U.S. National Science Foundation and the Demographic and Behavioral Sciences Branch of the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development. Additional support is provided by the University of Minnesota Office of the Vice President for Research, the Minnesota Population Center, and Sun Microsystems.

Census/enumeration data [cen]

Sampling procedure

MICRODATA SOURCE: Statistics Austria

SAMPLE DESIGN: Systematic sample of every tenth enumerated household drawn by the Minnesota Population Center. The sample is not representative of the country-level population. Due to famine and conflict, parts of the country are missing from the sample. Detailed documentation about the nature of the undercount and affected geographic areas is given in the report available on the Source Documents page.

SAMPLE UNIT: household

SAMPLE FRACTION: 10%

SAMPLE SIZE (person records): 3,404,306

Mode of data collection

Face-to-face [f2f]

Research instrument

Two census questionnaires were used, one in rural areas and another in urban areas. Blocks 1-3 of the forms--area identification, particulars of household members, and information on deaths--are identical across forms. Block 4, detailed information on housing unit, differs between the two forms. More details on housing unit characteristics were collected in urban areas.

Research instrument

Four census questionnaires were used, a short and long form in rural areas and a short and long form in urban areas. The long questionnaire was completed for a sample of households, and for all hotels/hostels and other collective quarters. In each EA except those in Afar and Somali (where the residents are predominantly nomadic) 1 in 5 households were systematically selected for the long questionnaire. In Afar and Somali regions 1 in 20 sample households were selected for the long questionnaires. Urban forms collected more details on housing unit characteristics.

MICRODATA SOURCE: Central Statistical Agency

SAMPLE DESIGN: Systematic sample of every 10th household with a random start, drawn by the country. NOTE: The sample includes data from both the short and the long questionnaire. Only one-fifth of household received the long questionnaire, thus only 20% of the population have responses for most variables.

Mode of data collection

Research instrument

Two census questionnaires, a short form and a long form, collected information in five sections: 1) Area identification, 2) Type of residence and housing identification, 3) Details of persons in the household, 4) Deaths in the household during the last 12 month, and 5) Information on housing unit. The long questionnaire was administerd to 1 in 5 households in each enumeration area. The short questionnaire with a subset of the long questionnaire items corresponding to basic demographic and social characteristics (population size, sex, age, religion, mother tongue, ethnic group, disability and orphanage) was administered to the remaining (non-sample) households.
